Hwang Hee-chan (29)'s Wolverhampton teammate Matheus Cunha (25)'s transfer to Manchester United is becoming visible.
It also recognized Britain's highly public confidence 'BBC'. On the 22nd (Korea time), the BBC'Manchester United is showing interest in recruiting Cunha this summer. Several club sources said BBC Cunha was one of several attacking options on Manchester United's shortlist. Manchester United are also interested in Ipswich town striker Liam Delap, 22, reports.
Cunha from Brazil has already made the transfer a fait accompli. In an interview with the Guardian' last month, he received a lot of suggestions " (from the winter transfer market), but I would have felt uncomfortable if I had implemented them. Some things are out of control, but I couldn't leave the club in the middle of the season under difficult conditions in the relegation zone"Now we are close to achieving our goal (residual). I need to move on to the next level. I want to fight for the title, for the big thing. I have enough potential."
Wolverhampton were once in the relegation zone but have recently confirmed their place in the top flight. Cunha also said "The status I have today, the player I am now, and the happiness I feel are all thanks to them. Thank you very much for Wolverhampton."
Cunha landed at Wolverhampton on loan from Atletico Madrid in January 2023 and made a full transfer for 44 million pounds (about 84 billion won) that summer. He was a great Wolverhampton ace.

He formed Wolverhampton's offensive axis with Hwang Hee-chan with 12 goals and seven assists in the English Premier League (EPL) alone last season. With Hwang Hee-chan sluggish this season, Cunha scored a team-high 16 goals in all competitions this season.
Cunha signed his contract in February. The contract period with Wolverhampton has been extended until June 2029. However, it was a preliminary stop for the transfer. It was set at 62.5 million pounds (about 118 billion won) as a buyout.
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has made improving his scoring record a top priority. Manchester United scored only 38 points in 33 EPL games this season. Only Southampton, Leicester City, Ipswich, Everton and West Ham have scored fewer goals than United.
The BBC analyzed that "Cunha is considered the ideal player to play one of the second line positions in Amorim's preferred 3-4-2-1 formation". Of course, the competition remains. Manchester United is not the only club aiming for Cunha. Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle are also eyeing it.

There is also an Achilles tendon. Cunha is no doubt as talented as he is, but he is an accidental fellow. He was suspended for two games on December 15 last year for assaulting a security guard after the game in Ipswich.
In the fifth round (the round of 16) of the FA Cup against Bournemouth on the 2nd of last month, it was controversial when it collided with Bournemouth's Miloš Kerquez in the 15th minute of the second half of extra time. The war of nerves began when Kerkez pulled Cunha's clothes.
Cunha grabbed Kerkez by the neck and swung his arm. When Kerkez fell, he tried to kick, and even hit the two players face-to-face. Cunha was immediately shown a red card for the act of violence.
Cunha was suspended for three automatic games following his exit and charged with inappropriate behavior, and was fined 50,000 pounds (about 95.3 million won) along with an additional one-game suspension.
